Green Tree Frogs


24 July – Thursday

At last the rain has stopped, the sun has come out and there was a big rush to the laundry this morning!

This afternoon we visited the Botanic Gardens and while I wandered through the gardens, Les decided to scare a snake and some scrub turkeys on a walk up Mt Whitfield. He managed to get a photo of the turkeys but not the snake.

The gardens were lovely, very lush and humid, but very enjoyable walking under the large trees. My brush with wildlife included a green tree frog and a skink. There were a few orchids in flower (perhaps it is the wrong season?), some pretty impressive pitcher plants and a smelly rotten meat plant.

We spotted a very intriguing driving manoeuvre the other day. The driver proceeded through an intersection on a green light, immediately changed his mind, reversed back into the intersection (against the traffic) and proceeded to turn right

Didn't know Dave had ever won a grand final? Isn't white the colour of surrender???

last time I checked this blog was about Mum and Dad's HOLIDAY! Honestly. And that's a very nice green tree frog you have there, Mum! Better to hold that than the snake, I think...
